In reply to the discussion: The Tara Reade Story Is Tricking Progressives Into Voting For Trump Again [View all]Celerity
(46,800 posts)47. How is this possibly anti-Biden? The Banter has been a defender of him the whole time.
The only other OP directly about Reade I have posted (11 days ago) and left up was from the same site, where they trashed Reade and stood up for Biden.
here was that OP
Tara Reade's Sexual Assault Allegation Against Joe Biden Is Falling Apart
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100213321631
here is a section of this current OP
Knowing the destructive potential of a second Trump term as president -- knowing how it would annihilate the last remaining institutional impediments blocking Trumps ongoing power grab, we ought to be extremely suspicious if not downright hostile to anyone whos helping the president or hurting his opponent, Joe Biden. This is a political war for our collective future. This election will determine whether were spraying the crops with Brawndo under a Trump dictatorship, or whether America will course correct and reacquaint itself with democratic values. Not to belabor the point, but defeating Trump at the ballot box has to be our highest national priority this year. Everything depends on it -- one of the myriad reasons why Im so driven. Its also one of the reasons why Im deeply suspicious of the motives of activists who are exploiting the allegation of Tara Reade to damage the Biden campaign, effectively aiding in the re-election of Donald Trump.
it goes on from there:
Are we as a nation better off with Trump instead of Biden? Progressives who say yes in response to that question are rejecting the most progressive Democratic nominee in history while de-facto supporting the least. And they need to wise up about all this now, before its too late.
deffo not 'anti Biden'
This is why I almost never post or reply on this subject, and shall endeavour to avoid so in the future.

Biden was attacked all during the primary and still won. Reade's story is crumbling. He will be fine
